The IP address is used wherever it is required during auto submit (it's obviously submitted with your gallery info).... while 'external' in the name means how you're seen by others.
For example, if you have a proxy server set, after clicking on the Get button (below Your External IP Address) it should show you your external IP which may be different from your own IP -- as it depends on your proxy. So if it's giving you an error try to use a different proxy... or simply disable it.
